Ever received a text from MOI-Moroor saying “A violation has been issued…” but you weren’t even there? These things happen more often than you’d think!

The simple car insurance rule

Car insurance companies in Saudi will check your driving history to see how risky you are:

• Safe Drivers (no major traffic violations): The company sees you as low-risk and gives you cheap car insurance prices.
• Risky Drivers (with major traffic violations): Traffic violations for dangerous driving show you are more likely to cause a bad car accident. The company sees you as high-risk and will charge you much higher car insurance prices.

Disputing and removing a wrong ticket—especially a major one—can save you a lot of money when you renew your car insurance.

Final words,

Disputing wrong traffic violations isn’t just about fairness — it’s about protecting your record and your wallet. A single mistaken fine can stay on your record, raise your insurance premium, and cost you more in the long run. Once your record is clean, make sure your car insurance price reflects that!
